Psychology Today: Biased Asperger's Article!

Post Reply New Topic

Psychology is not a field of SCIENCE or a Medical discipline. It's closer to being a religion, with high priests who dictate what a human being should be - they dictate behavior that is narrow, restrictive, and which leaves out MOST human beings. Their "tests" are rigged for the outcome they want; most of their "studies" fail the standards for being scientific. Their conclusions are laughable.

They describe what they consider "normal" when no such thing as a normal human being exists. Psychologists have a desire to control people: their goal is to tell convince people that they are defective and then offer treatment - it's a profit-making industry. Who gave these people the right to sit in judgment on human value? It's time to QUESTION the validity of Asperger's as a disorder: there is far more evidence that we are a RARE TYPE of human with a particular set of personality traits.

Much of our distress comes from having to deal with a sick social environment that is not healthy for so-called "normal" people either.

Any social science finding is only as good as the methodology/design of the research and the way they use statistical processes and selections to report the findings. One of the biggest hidden biases is that they may report only part of the statistical analyses, the part that supports their theory - just like Big Pharma (who learned from the academic psychologists how to warp reported results). Researchers know that they don't build academic careers, nor find future research funding, by showing that their theories are wrong. So the whole field of academic psychology is biased by personal ambition, the same old quest for status, power, promotion, influence, more money.

Certainly the proponents of behaviourism acted like fundamentalist religious freaks in the 20th century, and dominated teaching in universities for a long time. Mercifully they are discredited now, though the ethos of academic psychology now is not much changed.

Don't say that! We need each and every person on planet Earth...whether it's the right or wrong planet for them.
